Adam Charles Clayton, born on March 13, 1960, is an English-Irish musician best known as the bass guitarist for the rock band U2. He was born in Oxfordshire, England, and moved to Malahide in County Dublin, Ireland, with his family in 1965 when he was five years old.

Clayton’s bass playing is characterized by the use of harmonic syncopation, which imparts a driving rhythm to the band's music. In addition to his work with U2, he has engaged in various solo projects, including collaborations with bandmate Larry Mullen Jr. such as the 1996 version of the Theme from Mission: Impossible. As a member of U2, Clayton has been recognized with 22 Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
